5x expanded by Gog the Mild (talk). Self-nominated at 13:10, 25 January 2021 (UTC).
Hi Gog the Mild, another excellent article. Review follows: article 5x expanded from 24 January; article is extremely well written and cited inline throughout to excellent sources; I don't have access to the offline sources but more than happy to AGF on any copyright violation; hook is very interesting, mentioned in the article and cited; perhaps we should put "reportedly" in there (but happy either way)? a QPQ has been carried out. All good here - Dumelow (talk) 14:22, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks Dumelow, high praise. I am indifferent re "reportedly", but it seems to me that everything in Wikipedia is "reportedly", and can be taken as inferred. A more experienced editor than me once told me off for using it, saying that its only function was to subtly cast doubt on what was "reported" and that is PoVing.
